Hello could anyone check my work on the following question?
Read the two sentences
He completed his assignment. Then he submitted it to his teacher.
Which sentence combines the two sentences using a past participle?
A.) He submitted the completed assignment to his teacher
B.) He completed his assignment and then submitted it to his teacher
C.)Before he submitted it to his teacher he completed his assignment
D.) He submitted the assignment to his teacher after he completed it
I believe the answer is D
When a verb form is being used as a past participle, it's being used as an adjective. It is not being used as part of a main verb or a verb in a subordinate clause.
So … which sentence (not D) has a past participle in it, being used as an adjective?
Thank you ma'am have a good night :)
Oh I'm sorry. Would A be correct then?
Yes! The verb form "completed" is a past participle being used to describe "assignment."

To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the sentence that combines the two given sentences using a past participle.
A past participle is a verb form that typically ends in -ed, -en, or -t and is used in verb tenses such as the present perfect or past perfect.
Let's analyze each option:
A) "He submitted the completed assignment to his teacher."
In this option, the word "completed" is a past participle. This sentence combines the two given sentences using a past participle.
B) "He completed his assignment and then submitted it to his teacher."
This option does not use a past participle to combine the two sentences.
C) "Before he submitted it to his teacher, he completed his assignment."
This option does not use a past participle to combine the two sentences.
D) "He submitted the assignment to his teacher after he completed it."
This option does not use a past participle to combine the two sentences.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is A) "He submitted the completed assignment to his teacher." as it combines the two given sentences using a past participle.
